Hello everyone,
Do you have frosted glass windows in your bathroom, such as satin finish, Masterpoint, or something similar? Or do you just have clear glass?
One more question, so I don’t have to open a new topic: Do you happen to have a picture showing how the connection between kitchen cabinet fronts and the wall is done in your kitchen? The option suggested by the kitchen studio (next to the dishwasher there should be a side panel with a plinth and next to it a filler piece aligned with the height of the side panel) doesn’t really appeal to me – I’m curious if this is the standard approach or if there are nicer solutions.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards, hemali

I think the question was whether you open and close the pleated blind every time you use the toilet or take a shower. Personally, I find that a bit pointless. I’m probably too lazy for that; in my case, it would stay closed permanently. Why would anyone open and close it all the time? That doesn’t make sense. Nobody uses those like that. They usually cover just the lower half of the window, which is enough in both bathrooms to shower or use the toilet in privacy.

My husband isn’t keen on working with foil. Although I find the solution of leaving a few centimeters (20/30cm (8/12 inches) would actually be fine) open at the bottom and top ideal. But applying the foil perfectly clean is certainly difficult, so we decided against it. Any professional car wrap or window graphic installer can do that quickly and inexpensively. Many retail shops have applied “frosted” or satin finish films. It’s also commonly used on glass doors or walls—like those in banks—where transparency and privacy need to be combined. The film is aligned using an installation aid, smoothed out, and then the transfer liner is removed; it’s much faster than pouring a beer at a fair.
The more you want to deviate from a full-surface frosting or patterned film, the more practical this method becomes. And in terms of cost, it’s a completely different league.

They always cover the lower half of the windows, which is enough to shower or do other private activities comfortably in both bathrooms. Then you could just make the window smaller by that part, right? If it’s always covered anyway, you might as well eliminate it altogether?

Yes, that was the direction of my argument. I would prefer to avoid pleated blinds, fabric, curtains, or similar in the bathroom, especially when doing a new installation.
Window films work quite well; I have applied them several times. However, you should use films that are custom-cut. That is a completely different quality—afterward, it is almost impossible to tell that a film has been applied. Also, you have flexibility, with various designs and levels of light transmission available.

Light doesn’t pass through a wall, but a pleated blind lets plenty of light in, while still being opaque. So there is definitely a difference.
I have never really found frosted glass or decorative films appealing. In the mornings, with light in the bathroom, you could often see too much here in the development. And I’m not sure if the residents realize that it’s possible to see where someone is washing with a washcloth. Maybe there are better versions out there, it’s just not for me, but it’s a matter of personal taste. Or, as they say here in Low German:
wat den sin Uhl, is den Andern sin Nachtigall
